According to officials, a passenger bus rammed into a CNG-run auto-rickshaw carrying 10 schoolboys of a high school, during heavy rainfall at about 7:45 a.m.

Five schoolboys died on the spot while three others succumbed on way to hospital.

Seven injured – including two schoolboys, the auto-rickshaw driver and four bus passengers – were admitted to the Chittagong Medical College Hospital.

After the accident, an agitated mob barricaded the road for one and half-hours. The security forces arrested the helper of the bus but failed to arrest the driver.
